POLlSl-llNG COMPOUND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 74:7,003, datedDecember 15, 1903.

Application filed June 10,1903. Serial No. 160,861. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE SHAMBEOK, a subject of the German Emperor,and a resident of Salt Lake City, in the county of Salt Lake and Stateof Utah, have invented new and useful Improvements in PolishingCompounds, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention relates to a certain novel to and useful polishingcompound, and has particular application to a polish designed especiallyfor use on articles of furniture, vehicles, and Woodwork in general.

In carrying out the present invention I have particularly in viewforming a polish of a compound or admixture of easily-obtainedingredients and which will embody the essential features of cheapnessand facility in preparation. 4

A further object of my invention is to provide a polish which may beemployed for any article of furniture, whether such article has beenpreviously varnished or not, said polish imparting to the article towhich it is applied a bright and fresh appearance, so that the articlethus treated will look as though it had recently been renovated or wasan entirely new article fresh from the hands of the manufacturer.

The compound forming the subject-matter of this application is also ofsuch nature that it is perfectly waterproofthat is to say, when appliedto a buggy, railway-car, or the like Water will be readily shed fromsuch article instead of impregnating or soaking the same,

thus preventing the possibility of warping the structure under theeffects of heat or the sun.

With the above objects and others of a similar nature in view myimproved polish consists of a compound formed of the ingredientshereinafter set forth.

In making my improved compound I mix turpentine, raw linseed-oil,grain-alcohol, and muriatic acid, and while the proportions of the samemay be varied still I have found it preferable to employ the ingredientsin the following proportions: spirits of turpentine, two and one-halfounces; raw linseed-oil, one and three-fourths ounces;graiu-alco'hohthree ounces, and muriatic acid two and one-half ounces,the acid being diluted with approxilnately two and one-half ounces ofwater.

The compound acts the same either on a wet or dry surface, and when itis desired to brighten any articles the polish may be applied with acloth or the like, a larger or smaller amount of the polish beingapplied, according to the condition of the'article to be treated.

Having thus described my invention,I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. The herein-described polish composed of spirits ofturpentine, raw linseed-oil, grainalcohol and Inuriatic acid.

2. The herein-described polish composed of spirits of turpentine, rawlinseed-oil, grainalcohol, and diluted muriatic acid.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE SHAMBEOK.
